  1. my little looopy has tryed to kill me 4 times now. last one being a tree at 1am (1.0mpi isnt the engine to get you out of a ditch) as soon is i can afford it i am power flex'ing the lower arms and axle bushes and a set of sports dampers (40mm front 55mm rear lowered already if that don't fix it il strap a role bar on at the back and if its still trying to kill me im getting my golf sooner than planed :'(
  2. spun my loop 4 times now 1st time was first time id done a roundabout in my car had seen my boss do one at 60mph didn't work at 50mph for me later found out my boss used to race v8 touring cars :/ 2nd touched puddle on left corner (no dammage) 3rd touched puddle on left corner (no dammage) next night hit a badger at 60mph on a strait road on dip beam (bent rad smashed rad fan n slam panel and cracked lower bumper) 4th touched ice on left corner sent me in to a ****ing tree :/ (crushed crash panel split front number plate broke headlight's and indicator panel) i don't like left corner's any more :'( or badgers total cost of repairs 20-25 cable ties managed to fix all of them without spending a penny

  6. i was going to do this when my engine died but came across a 1.0 arosa lump for half the price of a 1.4 16v its best part of 7 hours to change a 1.0 for a 1.0 engine (im doing mine today) then stuff like pas pump to deal with probably could do it without too much hassle because you would have a doner car to take rad and stuff from
  7. have an engine hoist, transmission jack and oil draner to ease removal
  8. Hi my lupo is a 2000 1.0 E MPI (ALD engine code) had my lupo on the road for just under a month now took rocker cover off to see how hard it was to replace tappets (could hear it was very tapity)but found that the cam, cylinder head and rocker cover are heavily worn. So due to the fact it has oil pump problems and is down On compression I'm getting a replacement engine. How hard is it to swap the engines and what is the best way to go about it I do have access to a two post ramp and tools to do job most likely going to an AUC 1.0 MPI engine will this still run on my ECU ?
